The purple car "false conviction" is a super cool idea. Very nice!

I've assumed: 1. It's an MCI kid. (UCN Toy Chica Cutscenes says the 4th kid is related to MM, and William goes to his house) Also, I believe it's the freddy files that mentions MM=MCI as one of the main 3 theories. 2. the kid is Fritz, who ran from SpringBonnie but was followed home (The runner animatronic who sees the bodies in GOGOGO pulls an ITP Oswald. He sees the bodies, runs away, but SpringBonnie follow him until he gets home) 3. Yellow Guy (one of the guides says he's Yellow not orange) is Fritz's dad. (Yellow matches Foxy's eye colour, as well as Chica's and Golden Freddy's main colour). We know about Susie and the colour Yellow removes Bonnie, and Freddy from the possible MCI kids kidnapped. 4. Fritz is the 4th MCI kid (Fnaf 3 arcade button order matched to GGGL give the order, Susie, Jeremy, Gabriel, Fritz, Golden Freddy. This specific order is also referenced 3 other times) 5. Yellow Guy is mistaken for William (Purple Car, also Fans have been doing this since it came out) 6. Yellow Guy is the one convicted for the MCI. (Someone was convicted. Mistaken for William. I also saw someone relate MM to "Find Player Two" where a man, accused of kidnapping, lives in a trailer on the road that gets smaller and smaller.) For the MCI kids... (without UCN or MM) 1. Susie was at the arcade. 2. Jeremy was left behind at Freddys when his parents moved away. 3. Gabriel was given a secret party with (several live...) Friends. 4. Info on Fritz specifically is unknown. 5. Cassidy was Springlocked. (Red/Blood lake imagery with Fredbear)

I always viewed it as Will coming home to Mrs Afton and him yelling at Micheal as if it was 'later that night'. Then supposedly CC would already be dead or at least at the hospital.

It was always obvious to me that Mustard man was not Michael Afton. Since from a design perspective it wouldn’t have made sense for Scot to make Mustard man yellow if it really was Michael Afton

i love how we as a fanbase have collectively agreed this mystery yellow colored man sprite's name is "mustard man" lmao.

I have a feeling that mustard man MIGHT me Henry. Henry, in the books, had two children. A daughter and a son. It'd make quite a lot of sense, especially if you consider the fact that Henry was not the best father to ever exist. Not to mention, Henry works closely with William, which would let William's evil revenge plan be literally perfect. First he murdered charlie, then lured the son away to murder him and then shove ALL the fault onto Henry who would get arrested and give William more time as well as get him off the hook quite easily. "Later that night" might indicate that he first killed charlie, then the son, to get them out of the way as fast as possible, which would make sense. What i also theorize is that the son is with cassidy in golden freddy and crying child is not at all present in the fnaf 1 cast. Sure, he was bit by Fredbear but i doubt he'd possess Fredbear since i believe that the fnaf 4 nightmares are literally nightmares that CC is experiencing during his coma (which is then re-lived by Michael, which I'll explain soon). In my opinion, CC haunts Michael. Literally. Because of CC, Michael gets to see what his little brother lived through, and blah blah blah. Its too much to discuss rn and I've already gone off the trail so- do whatever you want with this, this is just my idea.

i don't agree with much on this take, but there's at least 2 things i agree on with it 1: it's not William 2: Jr's has been, and will always be just a bar

The killer was wearing a gutted OG Fredbear suit. The rain wouldn't have made a difference. Fruity Maze doesn't prove anything, look again. But that's beside the point. Toy Chica's stories in UCN include one where she goes to a victim's house and up to their window to abduct them. How much more proof do you want that MM is about an MCI kid? The pile of dirt could be anything. Whatever that little clearing is meant to represent, it is an unhappy place and compels the Yellow Man to go to the bar. I'd say it was either a burned down house or the grave of his wife, both would explain why the guy is an angry drunk. If the pile of dirt was important, I think UCN would've cleared it up but it didn't so it must be irrelevant to the larger story.

So i always looked at it as a drunk father of a mci victim comes home in his drunken anger about being kicked out of a bar and attempting to take his anger out in his usual abusive manor only to find his son lured out by spring bonnie but being so messed up he doesnt realize the tracks so he assumes his son ran away and will “punish” him later only for him to not come home and the person in the chair is either a. Sibling b. Mother and no matter which way they are scared of his abusive ways and thats why they dont di amything

FINALLY! A Midnight Motorist theory I agree with! Note: 3 of the MCI victims are 'linked' to the two kids that went missing at Freddy's. It doesn't specificly say they went missing there. We have 3 mini game that show us those other three kids. I am 100% convinced that The Big Man, aka Mustard Man is falsely convicted of Aftons crimes.

1:33 also may i add theres no glass on the outside of the window yet foot prints? To me it feels like something came in not got out Edit: or at least thats what majority of people investigating a crime scene would say. Ik it can just be a lack of detail but if scott wanted to make it clear the kid got out then there would be glass outside. Hard to forget a detail like that yknow?

"Look at those strings, those long beautiful strings! He'll be mine by the end of the day, I just know it. I told him to come over later. That should be enough. And if he doesn't show up, I'll just go to his house! And if he doesn't open the door, I'll just find a window! Chimney's always a option. Or, I could set the house on fire, and wait for him to run out! Then he could run into MY arms! There is only one thing that could possibly go wrong..."-toy chica on highschool years what we see on pizza party? gabriel being lured (from his bedroom with thunderstorm sounds) and later to be stuffed into freddy So what is the mound? susie's burried dog also, its called "later that night", when the mci happened? Kids vanish at local pizzaria - bodies not found. Two local children were reportedly lured into a back room during the late hours of operation at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza *on the night of June 26th.* While video surveliance identified the man responsible and led to his capture the following morning, the children themselves were never found and are presumed dead. Police think that the suspect dressed as a company mascot to earn the children’s trust. gabriel is the ranaway, not rory, not micheal, not andrew and not cc also, the rain argument is most likely a oversight, its even reinforced by pizza party with the storm sounds, so scott doesn't know how springlock works, hell if afton kill those kids inside the suit, blood goes into his suit and its causes a springlock failure so it doesn't really matter

My theory is: Mustard Man is the abusive alcoholic father of an undetermined male MCI kid, and William came to the house in the evening in a gutted/non-springlock suit (doesn’t make sense why Afton would risk the rain, he was a lunatic but he wasn’t an idiot) the child wanted to come along with him to the location, but the child could not break the window. William broke the window for him (glass is not visible outside, so the child could not have broken out himself, possibly the father took away any objects he could break the glass with after the previous time?) and he led the child back to the main location and to the “secret party” with everyone else, and then he killed them (in order for the kid to be considered “killed at Freddy’s” as the poster notice says) It was likely that William knew where he lived because of the distance and because it seems this kid was the most fanatic about Freddy’s of all the MCI kids, so William would have a higher chance to get to know him (the kid probably overshared a bunch) The mound is probably the Mustard Man’s wife/family member or someone he killed in a DUI accident I don’t think the Mustard Man could be connected to and framed for the MCI murders, sure he has a purple car and history of child abuse but his connection to Freddy’s is slim and he was only known to abuse his own son, so it doesn’t make sense why he would kill the other 4 at a location he doesn’t like

the one thing that always bothered me about the minigame is if the character we're playing as IS William, then WHY wouldn't Scott make him purple??? or blue at the very least??? i get that maybe he wants the identity of the character to be ambiguous but it doesn't make sense to me why Scott would make him a completely different color. unless of course there's a deeper meaning as to why he's yellow in this specific cutscene but, without an explanation, it bothers me lol

I like this theory; I’ve always kinda believed a version of this theory. Here’s an idea I have for the mound of dirt: I think the minigame is supposed to show how the runaway was vulnerable and this is why William exploited this in order to kill him. I think the mound of dirt could represent a grave of a dead family member? We only see 2 other family members so it makes sense maybe the runaway would have a sibling or mother that died making them feel even more sad and isolated, and sought escape in Freddy’s. I also believe the runaway’s an MCI kid but mainly because I don’t believe William killed many kids outside the MCI; I have no evidence mainly just a headcanon for narrative purposes.

I love this theory omg, it’s nice to hear different takes and theories rather than the same ones retold over and over again. You executed it together really well :)

I do like the theory you got here. I never baught that this was William. The other 2 secret lore moments that came from these arcade games in Pizza Simulator both highlighted victims. Charlie and Suzy. I always felt that this was trying to follow the same thing. The mini game here also could be compared to one of the High School Toy Chica scenes where in each part she talks about how she would get someone. (Heavily hinting each description was a way William killed someone). One of those descriptions stating that they would go to the person's house and get them.

I think I have a solution : I think the minigame happened before cc was even afraid of the animatronics, and, because He was running to the restaurant everyday to see fredbear and sprongbonnie, and that was really annoying for William, so he decided to scare his son from the animatronics, because he doesn't want his son to get too close to the springlock animatronics and get injured (This aged well)

I always thought the child ran off to Jr's given the footprints leading upwards which is where Jr's is, and the green guy is trying to protect the son as much as possible by keeping the yellow guy away from Jr's

Nah Carl from the FNAF movie was the mustard man. I mean why else would he wear a shirt of it????

I have a theory that the Midnight Moterist house is the house we see in the FNAF 4 menu screen and also the FNAF 4 house has been shown in Fall Fest in Curse Of Dreadbear and Help Wanted 2! So what if the run away kid ran to Fall Fest, the yellow man said "Ran Off To That Place Again." He didn't say pizzeria or any restaurant, just said 'place' so the yellow man could be preferring to Fall Fest. And I also have a theory that the foot prints could potentially be Glitchtrap's since he has 3 toes and Glitchtrap is potentially connected to Fall Fest. This might be a setup to Fall Fest and the Mimic potentially.

this also feels like it lines up with fruity maze being the story of Susie

there two possibility only, william or henry, each one can change the whole story but in my opinion the only run away kid is without a doubt the crying child, because we are getting now reference in security breach of gregory, dude its a little kid running from animaltronics whole night without showing slightest expression of fear, but always drawing himself as fear and in a doubt and always acting like he know what is going on everything contradized himself, gregory isn't a naive and stupid kid like a lot people think, its likely he suffer from something depth that made him act like that, what is even more weird gregory doesn't want to leave the pizzaplex, because in ggy, gregory was in the pizzaplex the whole time and even slept there now the biggest reason why think that, because gregory is missing but we know he escape and safe, so why gregory didn't go talk to cassie, its even weird gregory was trying to communicate with cassie the whole night, so how he did know cassie is at the pizzaplex? you are telling me somehow gregory was able to know where cassie in specific 6 hours game started? its more likely gregory was watching cassie the whole time, but never talk to her, not even about getting back, or why he want to stay missing this is similar behavior as william, he watch everything in the cams, but always close working in his projects at this point midnight is william bringing the crying child to freddy fazbear pizza place to play, just like abby was brought to play with animaltronics must almost got stuffed in ella.................................. O.o this really narrative work the crying child doesn't like their house, so they ran away a lot, they have a rough day as mike said and william kidnapped the crying child and tries to mold him to became just like him, like vanessa the books confirmed favorite apprentice of the wizard isn't vanessa(100% look like a adult elizabeth), but gregory gregory writen story talks about how the wizard and his apprentice are fighting against creature with tentacles, the blob the blob doesn't attack or go after cassie, or glamrock freddy, but attack specific gregory and burntrap

I like this a lot it is one of the most coherent and complete explanations for midnight motorist. Good work.

This is without a doubt the most satisfying take on the minigame I've seen. Not only does it clear up the og newspaper clippings, which I always thought were retconned, but it just feels right. The evidence was there, the abusive dad, the kid who went to Freddy's often, the suit footprints, even the broken window, the lump of dirt near his own home (most likely the grave site), and no liable alibi for where he was with that same purple shade car. The fact most of the fnaf fanbase even mistook him for Afton makes it feel less of a coincidence, including the color of the man himself, the yellow color could even mean how the police thought he was the suspect, the man in the yellow mascot 👀 I love this theory, and it honestly fills more gaps than any other theory I've seen, there's no new questions or anything, like a puzzle piece. Even Scott saying how the game was meant to clear up things in the past, it fits just right

the rain would have washed away the footprints.

I was always a MMAndrew believer. Yeah I think Frights is canon to the games. Also it just makes sense to me that MM would be another victim minigame like the other minigames.

I actually love the idea that this mustard man was technically framed for William’s killings, even more so than the other theory I see of it being Henry getting blamed.

7:59 building off of this thought, if William did have a history of stalking this family and learning their habits/routines he might have even gotten his hands on Mustard Man’s car and used it so that to frame him since he was already a suspect.

Welp it's crazy how aftonmm basically got confirmed by flaf

i like your story telling, it makes quite a lot of sense: william was always in the game, but he was the footprints. who else would have been responsible for animatronic footprints near a missing childs bedroom? theres a story from chicas highschool adventures in fnaf 6 that sounds quite similar to story of midnight motorist. the newspapers never directly state that all 5 kids were at freddys before being lured into the backroom, so its possible that midnight motorist belongs to the mci. otherwise it could be connected to the dci as phone guy says: "whatever happens out there [...] has nothing to do with our establishment" it could be possible that some people witnessed charlies murder and just saw the purple car, further linking mustard man with the unnamed suspect from fnaf 1. the newspapers call out that he was caught on camera (perhaps since his son goes there often). however, they also claim that the police theorize the man wore a mascot suit. how would an unrelated person get hold of a mascot suit? perhaps mustard man worked at freddys. there is a theory that jeremy fitzgerald from the fnaf 2 location is mustard man. his son could be jeremy the mci victim. therefore naming the bar "jrs" is a reference to that. the midnight motorist family has a junior and he "can't be here" anymore. furthermore, jeremy junior could be abbreviated as j.j., naming balloon boys twin lol the mount of dirt could be the start of the fnaf 4 gameplay house, since its location looks similar to the one shown in fnaf 4s main menu. but its really unspecific and can have multiple answers. could be the fnaf 4 box, the grave of someone (my bet is on elizabeth because the circumstances of her death are hard to explain to officials), mby a lake, old man consequences, perhaps it will be cleared up sometime down the line. once again, thank you very much for your video!

I love the "You can be the hundredth Subscriber if you Subscribe at the right time" while four days late you're at 136 Subscribers. I love this theory even if there is some flaws that others don't enjoy. I can't wait for more from you :D

I would like to believe the kidnapping theory, the problem being, like in basically all Midnight Motorist theories, the footprints. The child has made multiple footprints in the ground, but there is only one pair of animatronic footprints, as if it teleported. Also, I know it is not meant to be taken seriously, but the mustard man convicted theory has a lot of problems, like how fnaf vr tells us nothing was ever proven in a court of law, how tales of the pizzaplex suggests WIlliam's arrest was common knowledge, how mustard man could literally not be a suspect unless he worked at Freddy's, etc. If the Orange Guy is not William, which nowadays I am starting to believe he is not, I think the car color is just a red herring. Not only that, but William's car is actually blue, like in the movie and like in the fnaf 4 minigame, and it only looks purple because of the darkness, like how William becomes purple in the darkness.

thinking back now, i don't see much sense mustard man being purple guy, because there are some things in fnaf that are pretty straight forward. In the minigame we can see that mustard man is looking for the child, so, with him being the spring bonnie, that also lured the kid wouldn't make sense, as well as the kid going to the restaurant where he saw a dead kid, suposing he is CC, also wouldn't make sense (but it could depending on the timeline of events). i think the mustard man's kid could be one of the MCI victims, as we already have one or two minigames in pizzaria simulator that show/tell us how the murders happened. (sorry for bad english)

people often forget some of the first suits, like of spring bonnie, were *cloth* and not springlocks! i always assumed that he'd at least keep one around if they weren't still being used at the time of midnight moterist

I don’t think the run away is cc, because I think cc is buried in the mound of dirt. I always thought the runaway was Micheal, lured to cc’s grave by an apparition of golden freddy. This does lead me to question who the relative watching tv is, but the tv watcher was never obviously Micheal, who we know had brown hair and didn’t seem to stick up for cc at all when he was alive, going so far as to actively torment him. I think your interpretation is interesting, and I’m currently working on a theory that Cassidy (/5th missing kid/golden freddy) was actually kidnapped by Afton and experimented on before they were killed. I will consider aspects of your interpretation to further my theory. 🫡🫡 The theorycrafting never stops.

for the dirt mound, it couldve been william attempting to lure a victim, noticing that rain was coming, and deciding itd be easier to kill them off and bury the body quickly (hence why the dirt mound is so visible) instead of luring them back to fredbear's and getting the remnant/experimenting/whatever there i think that theres two possibilities to this the runaway couldve been an unreported kid since mustard man mightve just not cared enough to report the kid as missing, assuming either he finally ran off or will come back eventually or, more likely since FFPS minigames seem to show the stories of *victims*, william could be planning to come back to the mound, and with it being so clear, it might be some sort of marking to himself along with him needing to be quick since the rain was coming

i like this, I always forget that there was another suspect for the killings

The animatronic footprints in front of the broken window can’t have been Spring Bonnie, Springtrap has 5 toes while the footprints only have 3 (like Golden Freddy)

Good job with the video! I never really understood the belief of Yellow Man being William. From a story standpoint, it doesn't really tell us anything if it is William, and contradicts the few facts we already do know about him.

Pizzeria Simulator already shows the lead-up to two of Afton's victims. It's always made sense to me for MM to be another victim.

What I don't get about people that believe Jr's is another Freddy's location is that how many family restaurants have _bouncers_ , let alone ones standing out in the pouring rain at night when the place would be closed? Scott just needed a generic name for a bar and "Jr's" was one he picked. It could've been "Steve's", "Tim's", "Moe's" etc. A bar owner naming the place after themselves isn't that uncommon.

8:09 Decent Theory. Surely better than the ones which try to convince me that JR's is Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Location.

Came from Ozone's channel, love the theory! Especially the idea of the car being used as evidence to convict someone who isn't William! Who knows, maybe it's even the same purple car, but one person stole it from the other! (Either Mustard Man stole William's car, or vise versa)

Omg I just realised something. If the „mustard man” is officially referred to as yellow, then it makes more sense than it seems. According to the colour theory what is the opposite colour of yellow? You guessed it - purple. I think the choice of colour there could be to signify the complete opposite of William Afton, which most likely suggests Henry?

Really well crafted theory. We will watch your career with great interest (subscribing)

This is a very interesting and original MM theory but I feel you didn't include some points that would be important to discuss. For convenience sake I'll split this into "Will being mustard man" and "mustard man is his own charactor". As for William being the mustard man, there are two main inturpretations: Crying Child runaway and Micheal runaway, but for general evidence that this is Afton's house, evidence comes from the his car being purple, him being abusive to his children, and the house in the woods bearing resemblence to the house in both the fnaf 4 titlescreen and the fnaf vr dlc hubworld. Another piece of evidence that this is the Afton Household, but only works with Micheal runaway comes from the layout of the minigame, if you overlay the fnaf 4 minigame map over the the midnight motorist map and line up the house enterance with the house, and Fredbear's with Jr's, the paths line up. Further more, if you overlay the SL breaker room map onto it, the mound lines up with the private room. Some problems with this are: 1. Where is the path from the fnaf 4 minigame. 2. (CC runaway) Where's Fredbear's? 3. (Micheal runaway) If Jr's is a shut down Fredbear's turned bar, doesn't that imply Charlie dies at Freddy's - Counter argument: William is shown driving away from somewhere far ouside walking distance, which Fredbear's is in walking distance. 4. Why is William yellow? - Counter argument: William is yellow because we are playing as him so he isn't in shadow, purple being used to signify shadow in the minigames - Counter, counter argument: it's midnight. 5. Why isn't the house the same layout as the fnaf 4 house. For CC runaway the commen theory is that it takes place after Charlie's death and that he's been lured away by Shadow Freddy to Charlie's body, with him interpreting the puppet on her as it killing her, thus giving him his fear of the animatronics. In this theory Micheal is the one watching TV and "that place" is Fredbear's. The mound is either Elizabeth's grave if they believe she died first, or the Circus Baby Bunker before it was used as a rental facility. Some problems with this are: 1. (If Lizzy dies first) why would the Funtimes already exist before Charlie has dies? 2. If Micheal's the one on the chair, then William probably would get mad at his kid telling him off, and probably get angry at him. 3. Why is Micheal protecting CC, this controdics his character. 4. Why would Shadow Freddy leave behind footsteps? - Counter argument: In the Movie Golden Freddy, despite being ghostly in nature, is shown weighing down a car. - Counter, counter argument: Shadow Bonnie is shown to not be as corporial. The Micheal runaway theory has a lot more variations but the main core of it though is that Micheal is the runaway and CC is dead. "Later that night" refers to either the night Charlie died or the CC died, but most of the time it's Charlie's death. In this theory "that place" is either CC's grave, the hospital where CC's being taken care of, or if it's still open: Fredbear's, but Fredbear's is theorised to have shut down and renovated into the Jr's bar. In some theories the mound is where CC's body is buried if he's dead already, if not's it's usually the same as CC runaway: Elizabeth's grave, or the CB Bunker pre-rental facility. This leaves the question of "who is on the chair?" To my knowledge there are 3 main candidates for this. 1. Henry: He was a friend of William and seems likely to help out babysit. He's an adult so William wouldn't be able to lash out at him, but him telling William off could fuel William's hatred towards him. In the fnaf 6 ending Henry says "I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now." when refering to Charlie, so if "Later that night" refers to her death then him babysiting Micheal would fit "No one was there to lift you up in their arms." and him not being there for her. 2. Ms Afton: William wouldn't be able to lash out because she's an adult and it could show why Ms Afton Left. 3. A possible aunt: Evidence for this comes from the movie. Now we discuss who was at the window. Most Micheal runaway I've seen have Golden Freddy possessed by CC luring Micheal somewhere, presumably Freddy's or Fredbear's though some intrupretations have him seeing G.Freddy and running off to CC's grave out of guilt. Evidence for this comes from the CC possibly possessing Golden Freddy, the footshape and the fnaf movie where G.Freddy brakes into Mike's house and takes Abby away. I do believe there is a variant of this theory that uses Shadow Freddy instead. I was going to write about Mustard man as his own character theories but I'm too burnt out from writing the Will = Mustard Man and you did a good job explaining it so I'll just put in some foot notes. • In fnaf 2 the DCI is described as happeing "out there" before the bodies show up at Freddy's one night. • The Scraptrap suit doesn't have many animatronic conponents that can't be explained as remnants of the Springtrap suit, suggesting it could be a mascot costume instead of an animatronic. • Going with the DCI angle, Golden Freddy could be the footprints as he can both teleport and wouldn't yet know SpringBonnie is their killer in desguise. • The mound could be the quickly buried runaway, with William intentually trying to frame Mustard man as William does try "bond" with his victums so he would know of the runaway's abusive and alchoholic father. • "Later that night" could just be after midnight.

Ive always been fascinated by the colour usage and rather detailed spritework, atleast for FNaF standards when it comes to the midnight motorist guy. Before you mentioned anything about your conviction theory i had this idea in the back of my head that there has to be some significance towards the colour and sprite, now i dont know how much thought Scott really puts into symbolism or methapors within the narrative but i cant help but draw parrarels between the two characters. The motorists car is purple while Aftons suit is yellow, both are just objects/things that symbolize the two characters and clearly arent an accurate representation of the two. Interestingly, when you look at them from a personal perspective they switch colours, Afton is the purple man, mirroring the car of the motorist, all the while he turns out to be yellow just like the springlock suit. To finish off this segment i also cant help but point out that they appear to be physically similar, the witnesses recollection of the murder/murderer could easily get muddied when you throw some hopeless abusive drunk into the mix against what seems to be a goody two-shoes, well adjusted fazbear employee, it would add this sense of dramatic irony to the whole thing and emphasize to what extent the actions taken by Afton affect those caught in the crossfire. In all honesty, to me it almost seems like a deliberately crafted red herring that went over our heads as theories in general tend to be more based off of evidence and preestablished "rules" that the canon should abide by. Contrary to this it does genuinely seem like your take is far more in line with the foundation of what ive come up with on admittedly, somewhat of a whim. It could possibly fit with your final point about that pit or hole or whatever it was, (my apologies for poor memory) where Afton purposefully setup the guy to cover his own tracks, maybe the fact its raining was a calculated decision to literally cover those tracks as the rain would most likely wash away the footprints, hes shown multiple times that hes capable and methodical, the language and words he makes use of give us this impression of atleast a well educated guy (Thought out sentences, poem-like delivery) Lastly i wanted to mention how atleast from my recollection of the lore as im not extremely up to date nowadays, it seems almost out of character for Afton to treat his kids in the way its shown aswell as him being in this drunken state doesnt add up to me unless were to toy around with the idea that this really does take place after Charlies murder. Now i think it would be interesting to entertain the idea of alcohol being involved in a prior crime scene which could also again get us back onto the initial idea you proposed with all of this just being a setup, perhaps it was a conscious decision for William to go after someone he knew suffered from alcoholism. Either way, i just cant narratively view this potential character as Afton without this nagging thought in the back of my mind that tells me this is just completely out of character. From the brief glimpses of his personality i see a man who lashes out but more so out of passion, jealousy, fear and ego. I feel that the fact Michael speaks in such a calm and well adjusted manner akin to his father, in what should be the aftermath of a terribly traumatizing event for someone to experience is further evidence towards Williams nature (You know, the whole thing about the cycle of abuse) though i could also be reaching.

i actually like this theory, if im not trying to overly make sense fricken FNAF then this theory works better than midnight moderist being about the afton's

there is a dead kid in that one fnaf 4 minigame where crying child gets locked in the employees only room by mike what if the dead kid is possibly the son from this theory

The Scottish accent is throwing me off loved the theory 😂😂

I'm still leaning towards Mustard Man being Henry. I don't know if it makes sense in terms of other theories, but just the fact that another monochrome guy is introduced for the first time, in the same game where Henry first appears... I dunno, it seems like it would be almost bad writing for that not to be him.

Watch Five Laps at Freddy’s come out and have a secret that makes Midnight Motorist even more complicated, throwing all our theories out the door

I love this theory. It’s so much more terrifying to think of Afton not just doing the MCI but also actively seeking out kids.

Imo people think it's William because Matpat said it, even tho the evidence is shaky I think Mr. Mustard is a missing kid's dad, it's obvious from the footprints and the Toy Chica cutscenes, and for the fact the 2 other minigames in Fnaf 6 are about Freddy's victims Also, "Later That Night" is a LOT more likely to mean "the night after the main Midnight Motorist minigame", there's no connection between Security Puppet and this minigame

3:06 I just want to add that if the kid got lured to Freddy's from home, he would be at Freddy's. He probably did get a little party time before being taken to the back room, which would allow those pieces to fit; the newspaper even mentions it was in the "late operating hours", so the timing works too

Uh oh matpat might have to come back for this one

I just CAN'T get over how they drive on the left side of the road. I know it's likely a mistake and this minigame does take place in America but it infuriates me

If its not William, then riddle me this: 1. At the end of fruity maze when William is talking, it's flashing between yellow and purple text. 2. It would make sense that he is yellow because he's not in his murderous rampage form (could also indicate why he speaks in yellow at the end of FNAF4) 4. He drives a purple car 5. He has a yellow outfit in the movie 6. Yellow is better as a design choice on a black background, it would be impossible to play a purple character on a black background 7. If it's not Willy, that means that it's not mike on the couch, and that CC isn't the runaway. I think we can all agree that the MM house is the house from the title screen of FNAF 4 and the background of the dreadbear dlc (with fallfest taking place on the location of the empty space in MM)

This is really well put together and I think I agree. Never really thought the change in color from purple to Mustard was Afton. The grey shirted kid really did convince a lot of people though.

That’s a good theory to me it makes sense I do think it was originally about the afton’s now I don’t know what it means

The biggest issue is that Afton has never been depicted as orange. Which is why I've stopped believing AftonMM

Yea, Orange Guy is Purple Guy is so dumb

I think i've watched up to 30 different videos about this minigame now lmao

2:45 also, at the begining of mini-game rain is not raining

If this theory is true, then it’ll be an ironic one at that. Cuz the FNaF community all theorized Cornel Mustard was William 👌

nice vid man. cool to hear a Scottish fnaf fan lol Im Scottish myself

I think Mustard Man is Dave

I was gearing up to write a comment about how it makes sense, but doesn't seem to have enough narrative significance to bother putting into a minigame. The false conviction, though… that's clever.

I think the dirt mound is a nod to the twisted ones book, though I’m not sure where that would fit. Or the dirt mound is a random ant hill. Not sure.

what if the answer to midnight motorist is into the pit... hear me out

3:05 *Anime girl jumpscare*

what the hell , only 225 subs ? well now its 226 ( it probably changed by the time you read this.)

i came from ozones video, very interesting video!

Springlock suit + water😢

Its definitely william lol I feel like ppl are just saying its not to be contrarian. It doesnt make any damn sense for it to be anyone else

Sorry but it's clearly meant to be Afton. Any mistakes and plot holes are exactly that. Let's not pretend Scott Cawthon is a man that never makes mistakes writing his stories, he's done it often in the series. There have been many retcons, and many unanswered loose ends. Why? Because Scott is a human and humans make mistakes in everything, including creating stories. The purple car, the mini game name in the files - it's Afton after Charlie's murder, that's the simplest and most logical conclusion
